WIP Wednesday

Two finishes this week. You heard me. Two. Finishes.

Completed:

Skirt Sew-Along - I did it! I made a skirt! That I can totally wear! Like, in public! It has a zipper! That I put in! This is worthy of all seven exclamation points in this paragraph! I'll have a full post on it as soon as I can get some decent pictures of me wearing it.

Pear Tree project - also done. Also awesome. Mark your calendar for March, because that's when I'll finally be able to show it to you.

I don't know how far I'll get on this one before Christmas, but I spent a little time today deciding which charms to use. I ended up with a combination of charms from AnneMarie's Spoonflower and Japanese swaps, plus some prints from my stash and Heather Ross scraps that Kelly was nice enough to swap with me.

I'm thinking of something along these lines for the accent prints in the feature blocks.

Congratulations on your skirt! It is such a feeling of accomplishment when you make something you can wear! Wait til you are getting comments like..'did you really make that?!" There will be no stopping you now!

Yay! Congrats on the skirt finish. Zippers aren't too bad in clothing are they? I think they might even be easier because you are dealing with a larger piece of fabric than a bag or pouch.I love your fabrics for the charmed qal. very fun!

I just found your blog and I'm really enjoying it so far. I just posted my first WIP. :) That skirt looks cute! I had recently bought a dress pattern with the intention of trying to make a dress...some day I'll attempt it. lol

Oh I love the skirt. And the new quilt can't wait to see it done. I was thinking about the quilt along. I was going to post my wip but I didn't get to take photo's. I love your list of tops to finish. I need to copy you and make myself a list. I love wip. Off to see the others. Thanks for the link. Enjoy your skirt.
